Builder Features
Duplicate Sidebar Widget
The Duplicate Sidebar Widget allows for easy duplication of another sidebar's widgets simply by dropping in the Duplicate Sidebar widget and selecting the sidebar to be duplicated from the drop-down.
Widget Content
The Widget Content feature adds the use of an advanced editor to create widget content. A new Widget Content top-level menu is now on the back-end and allows for creation of widget content with the same interface as posts and pages. Once a Widget Content entry is saved, you can add the Widget Content widget to a sidebar location and select the desired Widget Content entry from the drop down to add that content to a sidebar.
Note: Since Widget Content entries are supposed to be placed as widgets in sidebars, they are not designed to have Preview functionality working. Forum topic: http://ithemes.com/forum/topic/18446-widget-content-preview-is-page-not-found/page__view__findpost__p__85999
Builder provides the ability to export 'Layouts and Views' and/or 'Theme Settings' and import them to another WP site running Builder.
To access this, go to WP dashboard -> My Theme -> Settings -> Import / Export (tab)
Tuesday, March 08, 2011
This new feature was announced by Chris Jean recently, and we now have a full webinar recording in which Chris walks through how to use Import/Export, step by step.
In this webinar you will learn what the feature does, when you might want to use it, and when it makes more sense to use BackupBuddy. Chris also reviews all the other changes he incorporated into Builder 2.8.0.
All iThemes Builder users should watch this video, especially those of you involved in web design and development as a career.

Custom Module Styles
Builder provides the ability to select a custom style for a module when the module is being edited in Layout Editor. The name of custom module style and corresponding CSS class are defined in child theme's functions.php.
Custom Module Styles are present by default in these child themes: Americana and its color variants, Blueprint, Ionic and its color variants, Classen, Encased.
Custom Module Styles can also be easily added to other Builder child themes.
Objective: To set a custom style to a specific image module so that the module's wrapper (which is full width by default in Americana) gets blue background that matches the image background.
The screenshot below shows how the site appears before we create and apply the custom style to the image module (top most in the layout):
Step 1
Editing child theme's functions.php.
builder_register_module_style( 'image', 'Blue Background (full width)', 'image-blue');
has been added in it_builder_loaded() function.
if ( ! function_exists( 'it_builder_loaded' ) ) { function it_builder_loaded() { builder_register_module_style( 'widget-bar', 'Blue (full width)', 'widget-bar-blue' ); builder_register_module_style( 'navigation', 'Subnav Blue', 'subnav-blue' ); builder_register_module_style( 'html', 'Blue Background', 'html-blue' ); builder_register_module_style( 'footer', 'White Footer', 'footer-white'); builder_register_module_style( 'image', 'Blue Background (full width)', 'image-blue'); } add_action( 'it_libraries_loaded', 'it_builder_loaded' ); }
Step 2
Editing child theme's style.css.
/********************************************* Alternate: Blue background (full width) *********************************************/ .image-blue-outer-wrapper { background: #1e3240; }
has been added.
It is important to note the difference in the class name: .image-blue-outer-wrapper, not just image-blue.
Step 3
Editing the layout, then editing the image module, applying the style named "Blue Background (full width)", saving the module and finally the layout.
The screenshot below shows how the site looks after our custom style has been applied to the image module:
More Examples
- http://ithemes.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9420-americana-theme-how-do-i-get-away-from-fixed-width-layout/#p44290
- http://ithemes.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10030-modification-to-americana-theme/#p47025
Custom Widget Styles
Builder provides a easy way to apply a style (Ex.: "Yellow Background") to a widget. This style's CSS (Ex.: "background: yellow;") is to be defined in style.css for a selector whose name is defined in functions.php.
- Only the Widget Content widget supports this option currently
- The support is already built into Builder, but like the Module Styles, the option will not appear unless the child theme provides some Widget Styles. Since none of the child themes do this yet, the option does not appear by default.
If you want to start using this in your own child themes with the realization that it will be limited to Widget Style widgets, you can add code like the following to your child theme's functions.php file:
if ( ! function_exists( 'custom_register_widget_styles' ) ) { function custom_register_widget_styles() { builder_register_widget_style( 'Style Name 1', 'css-class-1' ); builder_register_widget_style( 'Style Name 2', 'css-class-2' ); // Keep adding new Widget Styles as needed for your application } add_action( 'it_libraries_loaded', 'custom_register_widget_styles' ); }
Then all you'll need to do is change "Style Name 1" and "Style Name 2" to be the names you want for the Widget Styles and "css-class-1" and "css-class-2" to be the classes you want to be applied for each Widget Style. Simply call "builder_register_widget_style" and provide a name and class for each Widget Style you wish to add.
The above code has been added before the closing PHP tag in functions.php of BuilderChild-Blueprint theme.
Screenshots at Appearance -> Widgets before and after adding the above code:
The following has been added at the end of theme's style.css:
.css-class-1 { background: yellow !important; }
or we can write more specific CSS like the following to avoid using !important:
.builder-module-sidebar .css-class-1 { background: yellow; }
Screenshots of how the site appears before and after doing the above:
Henceforth any widget content widget that should get a yellow background can simply be set this style "Style Name 1" at Appearance -> Widgets.
Analytics and JavaScript Code
Builder makes it very easy to enter Google Analytics ID and custom JavaScript code that you might want to enter in <head> and/or just above </body> sections.
Note: After entering Google Analytics ID in Builder settings,
1. it might take a day or two for Google Analytics to show tracking data in your account.
2. when page source of site is viewed,
UA- number doesn't print directly in the page.
We can see code similar to
<script type='text/javascript'> (function() { var bsl=document.createElement('script'); bsl.type='text/javascript';bsl.async=true;bsl.src='http://126.96.36.199/~hpgcom/hughes/wp-content/uploads/it-file-cache/builder-core/script.js?ver=3'; var se=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];se.parentNode.insertBefore(bsl,se); })(); </script>
Above code loads wp-content/uploads/it-file-cache/builder-core/script.js file which is where the Builder-generated scripts are.

Worcester man convicted of fatal stabbing
Felix Rodriguez to be sentenced Friday
Worcester man convicted of fatal stabbing
Felix Rodriguez to be sentenced Friday
WORCESTER, Mass. —
A Worcester man has been convicted of fatally stabbing another man in a fight over a woman at a party.
Felix Rodriguez was found guilty by a Worcester Superior Court jury on Wednesday of manslaughter in the December 2009 death of the 25-year-old victim.
Rodriguez was charged with murder, but was convicted of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.
A witness for the prosecution testified that the 54-year-old Rodriguez brandished the knife in a dispute over the woman. After it was knocked out of his hands, he retrieved it and stabbed the victim. The witness said they were high on crack cocaine.
The Telegram & Gazette reports that Rodriguez's lawyer told the jury that his client acted in self-defense.

Names & Faces
The Jets' head coach was voted the NFL's most overrated in an anonymous poll by the Sporting News. The Patriots' Bill Belichick was second in the poll of 103 players from 27 teams. So what's the knock on Ryan? "His coaching style is over the top," a player said in response to the poll. "Some of the things he does in front of the cameras are way over the top. You put that with the New York media and he has a pretty big reputation, I guess. ... He's pretty funny, and he's a pretty good coach. But not THAT good." Before the season, Ryan said this was his best team since 2009. The Jets are tied for last in the AFC East.
Jim Mora
The UCLA head coach thinks the person impersonating one of his players on Twitter should go to jail. The account, under the name of defensive back Randall Goforth, was used to tweet disparaging comments about USC receiver Robert Woods. "I think you're the lowest form of life form if you were to portray yourself as an 18-year-old young man who is out here trying to do his best," Mora told ESPN. "Trying to stir it up, attributing comments to him that aren't his, I think he ought to go to jail." Goforth said he was surprised to be impersonated. "I'm just a freshman," he told ESPN.

Lady Gaga has come under attack from animal rights activists after reportedly spending a fortune on a collection of fur coats while on a recent trip to Russia.
The Poker Face hitmaker is said to have purchased a number of pricey garments from the Helen Yarmak store in Moscow last week (ends16Dec12), including a $210,000 Russian sable coat and a silver fox fur valued at $19,600 .
Her shopping spree has landed her in trouble with officials from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and they have blasted her for splurging on the controversial fashion choices during the festive holidays, as her fellow Americans mourn Friday's (14Dec12) Connecticut elementary school shooting.
A statement released to GossipCop.com reads: "Out of place, out of time, and possibly out of her mind: While the country focuses on rejecting violence and we are deep into the season of peace, giving, and kindness, Gaga is busy decking herself out in a coat made of at least 30 slaughtered animals' skins."
The singer has made an enemy of the PETA organization this year (12) - campaigners accused Gaga of backtracking on a previous promise never to wear fur after she was photographed wearing what appeared to be a a pink mink coat and a white fox stole in August (12).
However, the superstar divided her critics by defiantly declaring, "You see a carcass, I see a museum piece de resistance" - comments which prompted PETA representatives to brand her "heartless".

As the line between phones and tablets grows ever blurrier, we're seeing some very unique devices hitting the market. The latest trend has been to release tablets with calling and SMS capabilities. Samsung started it with the Galaxy Note 8.0 and now Huawei has kept the ball rolling with the Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue. This entry-level tablet is outfitted with g a 7-inch 1024 x 600 IPS display, Huawei KV32 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 3MP rear camera, .3MP front-facing camera, 8GB storage, microSD card slot and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Huawei's Emotion UI.
But the highlight feature of the device is that it supports both calling and SMS. The built-in receiver works on quad-band GSM networks and UMTS networks on 900/2100MHz spectrums. The MediaPad 7 Vogue can also support 3G connections of up to 42Mbps. And so you don't have to use headphones, there's a built-in speaker up at the top of the display to allow you to hold it up to your face and call people.
I'm not sure how many people are willing to hold a tablet up to their face to call people, but the MediaPad 7 Vogue certainly offers the ability to do so. The device will launch in China this month with other markets to follow.
Would you use a tablet to call and text people?

Lui K. Hokoana has been named associate vice president for student affairs for the University of Hawaii System. Hokoana will lead the Office of Student Affairs, which provides systemwide leadership in initiating, developing and coordinating the university's student affairs policies and procedures.
This office serves as administrative liaison for the Hawaii Commission for National and Community Service and the National Corporation of Community Service, interacts and collaborates with public and pre-K through 20 schools and educational institutions, and oversees three statewide programs — WICHE, Leveraging Educational Assistance Program, and the State Approving Agency for Veterans' Benefits — which impact Hawaii students who wish to pursue their education in Hawaii and beyond.
"Lui is an experienced and seasoned student affairs leader who is attuned to community needs, especially as related to Hawaiian affairs, and will be a welcomed addition to the system office," said Rockne Freitas, UH System vice president for student affairs and university/community relations.
Hokoana began his career at the University of Hawaii in 1991 as a counselor at Maui Community College (now known as UH Maui College). He also served as the director of the Liko Ae Native Hawaiian Scholarship Program, which he developed and implemented to provide scholarships to students throughout the United States.
In 2006, he was appointed as the vice chancellor for student affairs at Windward Community College. He led the campus' Achieving the Dream initiative to unprecedented growth in financial aid access as well as enrollment, and secured $12.3 million in Title III funds for the college in 2010.
Hokoana has excelled in all aspects of student affairs during these years culminating with a resolution from the Faculty Senate at Windward Community College commending him on his performance.
Active in community affairs, Hokoana served as a board member of Papa Ola Lokahi, Hui No Ke Ola Pono and the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. He is one of the founders and served as president of the Native Hawaiian Education Association, the largest Hawaiian education association with an annual membership of 600 educators.
In 1999, Hokoana received the Ke Kukui Malamalama Excellence in Hawaiian Education award from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
Hokoana holds a BA in political science from the University of Hawaii at Hilo, an MA in communications from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and an EdD in education from the University of Southern California.

Passion on both sides of Oregon tuition debate
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Oregon lawmakers heard passionate appeals Wednesday from people on both sides of the debate over providing in-state tuition for young immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children.
A state House committee could vote by the end of the week on whether to advance the measure to the full House of Representatives.
Students considered Oregon residents pay about $20,000 less per year at the state's largest universities. Illegal immigrants pay the higher tuition rate charged to out-of-state and international students.
Young illegal immigrants told lawmakers they've worked hard in high school and dream of going to college but could never afford the nonresident tuition.
"You don't know how it is not to be able to dream to go to college, not because you're not smart, but because you have no way to pay for it," said Hugo Nicolas, a Chemeketa Community College student from Salem who was brought illegally to the U.S. when he was 11.
Opponents say the measure would confer a benefit to illegal immigrants that isn't available to U.S. citizens who happen to live in other states.
"I think we're cheapening the value of being a citizen of the United States," Don Nash, of Lake Oswego, told lawmakers.
House Bill 2787 would allow illegal immigrants to pay resident tuition at Oregon's seven public universities if they've graduated from an Oregon high school and lived in the United States for at least five years, at least three of them in Oregon. They'd have to sign an affidavit swearing they'll apply to legalize their immigration status as soon as they're legally eligible.
Illegal immigrants can't legally work in the United States, but proponents say President Barack Obama's push for a federal immigration overhaul could create a pathway to citizenship for many. They say children have no control over the decision to immigrate without legal documents.
"The only way this bill could be broadly applicable is with the passage of a mass amnesty on the federal level," said Cynthia Kendoll, of Salem.
Resident tuition and fees for 15 credits at the University of Oregon, the average course load, are currently $9,310 per year. For nonresidents, it's $28,650.
"When I think about my future after high school, I think about the opportunities that are being closed because of my legal status, when I worked as much or more than other students." said Karla Castaneda, a junior at Parkrose High School in Portland whose family illegally immigrated when she was 4. "I didn't do anything wrong. I attend school. I get good grades. And I help my community."
Illegal immigrants would be subject to the same entrance requirements as other university applicants and would not be eligible for state or federal financial aid.

Ranchers want more authority to kill wolves
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Eastern Oregon ranchers are asking the state Legislature for more authority to kill wolves that threaten their livestock, re-energizing a longstanding debate as the wolf population increases.
Ranchers told a House committee Tuesday that their existing authority to kill wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock isn't enough protection from the substantial losses they incur when wolves prey on cattle and sheep. Environmentalists warned that wolf populations might dwindle if ranchers have fewer hurdles to scale before they can legally kill a wolf.
Three Eastern Oregon legislators have proposed allowing ranchers to kill any gray wolf they reasonably believe has attacked or harassed their livestock — a significantly lower bar than the one in place today. Both sides are planning meetings to work on a compromise.
"We simply want to keep our livestock alive and out of harm's way," said Rod Childers, a Wallowa County rancher who leads a wolf committee for the Oregon Cattlemen's Association.
The House Environment and Natural Resources Committee took no action on the bill Tuesday.
Oregon's wolf conservation plan, administered by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, allows ranchers with a permit to kill a wolf if they catch it in the act of attacking, but ranchers say it's almost impossible to do so. No caught-in-the-act permit-holder has ever killed a wolf, said Michelle Dennehy, a spokeswoman for the fish and wildlife agency.
It's unclear what a compromise might look like, but conservationists advocate nonlethal methods of deterring wolves. Loud noises and red plastic flags have been successful in some areas.
"We have to make sure that the bill strongly emphasizes protection of our wolves," McKenna Grace Fisher, who described herself as an animal-rights activist, told the committee.
At the end of 2012, wolf numbers in the state had risen to 46 from 29 in 2011, according to state fish and wildlife officials. Meantime, four cows and eight sheep were killed last year by two separate packs, while 13 cows were killed by one pack in 2011.
So far this year, one cow has been killed by a wolf.
Seen as a scourge on the landscape, wolves were nearly wiped out across the Lower 48 by the 1930s. In 1995, the federal government sponsored the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. They eventually spread to Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington and California.
With wolf numbers approaching 1,800, the federal government dropped Endangered Species Act protection in 2011 in the Northern Rockies, eastern Oregon and eastern Washington, and turned over recovery management to the states.

College of Arts & Humanities
Soprano Elizabeth Frazer and pianist Amy Blackwood will be the featured musicians in the upcoming Ann Mason Hutto Memorial Voice Recital Series, Wednesday, Oct. 19, at Lander University.
Elizabeth Frazer
Frazer is a doctoral candidate in vocal performance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and has been teaching individual voice lessons and voice classes in classical and musical theatre styles at the university level for over seven years. She is an active recitalist, soloist and stage director in the southeast, and Classical Voice of North Carolina paid tribute to her talent in their review, stating that she sings "with great power and emotional depth … easily soaring over the orchestra."
Recently she performed as a soloist with the Greensboro Philharmonia, the lead role in "A Good Man is Hard to Find," a new opera by David Volk, and last year performed leading roles in UNCG Opera Theater's productions of Mozart's "The Impresario," as well as in Debussy's sacred cantata, "L'enfant prodigue."
Frazer received her B.A. at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, where she performed the title role in Tchaikovsky's "Iolanthe," as Abigail Williams in "The Crucible" by Robert Ward, and as Susanna in Tomas Breton's "La Verbena de la Paloma." She received her M.M. in vocal performance at East Carolina University, where she performed the role of Blanche de la Force in Poulenc's "Dialogues of the Carmelites," reprised her role as Abigail in "The Crucible," and performed the role of Elisa in Mozart's early opera, "Il re pastore."
As a faculty member of Emory & Henry College in Virginia, she started and directed an Opera Scenes Workshop that she has continued at the University of Virginia's College at Wise. She also initiated and directed a volunteer summer opera scenes program for graduate students at UNCG. A member of The National Association of Teachers of Singing, Frazer has had multiple students place at the state and regional levels in both the classical and musical theatre styles.

SAN DIEGO, May 9 (Reuters) - The body of a 42-year-old California surfer who had been reported missing by his fiancée was recovered by lifeguards on Thursday at a popular San Diego surf spot after he apparently drowned and was later bitten by a shark, authorities said.
"The body showed significant trauma consistent with some kind of shark," said San Diego Lifeguard Lieutenant John Everhart. "The Medical Examiner's initial findings are that it was a post-mortem attack."
The surfer, whose name was not immediately released, had been reported missing by his fiancée on Wednesday night and had apparently removed his wetsuit and tied it to the surfboard before he died, Everhart said.
On Wednesday evening, lifeguards received an emergency call that someone was far out in the ocean off Tourmaline Surf Park in the North Pacific Beach area of San Diego.
The caller reported that a man was hanging off a surfboard and appeared to be in trouble, Everhart said. The Coast Guard and lifeguards conducted an extensive search using helicopters, boats and watercraft but were unable to find the person.
They did recover the surfboard with a wetsuit tied around it, he said.
"I don't mean that it was attached to the surfboard by the leash," Everhart added, declining to speculate on why the man apparently removed his wet suit. "It was an intentional act. He took the wetsuit off and tied it securely around his surfboard."
People suffering from advanced stages of hypothermia will sometimes remove their clothing due to an altered mental state. Early on Thursday, a person walking on the sand found the man's body washed up in kelp on the beach near Tourmaline, Everhart said.

Amy Winehouse's ex-husband is reportedly fighting for his life following a suspected drink and drugs binge.
Blake Fielder-Civil, who married singer Winehouse in Miami, Florida, in 2007, was found choking on his own vomit in bed by Sarah Aspin, the mother of his 15-month-old son Jack, and hospitalised in Yorkshire, England, according to multiple reports.
Doctors put him on a life support machine after he allegedly swallowed his tongue and suffered multi-organ failure.
Aspin tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The doctors don't know the prognosis and put him in a coma to help him. I'm praying he'll survive but I'm having to prepare myself that he may never wake up."
Fielder-Civil, whose pop star ex-wife Winehouse passed away almost exactly a year ago, has battled a heroin addiction, and confessed to introducing his ex-wife to crack cocaine and heroin in an explosive 2008 interview.
He met Aspin in rehab.
She tells The Sun Fielder-Civil had been doing well and the couple was making plans to wed, but she fears he relapsed after meeting a friend last week.
She adds, "He's never really been a drinker, but when he got home with this friend, he was slurring his words and staggering. I thought he was on something. I was very angry because he'd been doing so well."

The Rhem series of games is all about puzzles. There isn't any great eye candy waiting around the corner. There is no story line to move forward. It is just one large collection of devious brain twisters.
So there is little point in a walk through. It would be like working a crossword puzzle with the solution displayed right next to it. However, it is possible to miss a small detail or not quite understand what a clue is trying to tell you. So a gentle hint or two can be a life saver when you get stuck. That is what this hint-through is all about – getting you back on path while revealing as little as possible.
Note that this is a difficult game and is intended for advanced players. I assume that you have already explored every place available to you. I assume that if you find a paper taped to the wall with a five digit number on it that you know enough to make note of it. I assume that if you are truly stuck, then you are familiar enough with the area that I won't need a lot of pictures, a simple description will do.
The puzzle hints are not presented in any special order. You should not just scroll down thinking that the puzzles are ordered like a walkthrough. You should first read the General Hints section. That might be enough to get you back on track.
After the General Hints is a list of all the major puzzles and their dependencies. Many of the puzzles found early in the game cannot be solved without clues or items found much later. This list will show you just what you should be able to solve depending on where you are in the game.
After the Puzzle Dependency List there are some maps with the different puzzles lettered. Simply find the link below the map to the puzzle is which has you stuck and jump there.
At the puzzle link you will find a series of gentle hints beginning with things which are easy to miss (M). No solutions are actually given, but the hints will progress to the point where they will explain how to solve the puzzle on your own. So even using these hints you will still get the satisfaction of having beaten the game yourself.
I would suggest adjusting your browser so that you can see only one hint at a time. That way you can still figure it out on your own without everything being explained to you.
General Hints
Puzzle Dependency List
Even though there are many puzzles you can work on at any given time, most of the puzzles are layered and most of them require you to have solved other puzzles first. Otherwise you won't have the critical clue or object.
Below is a list of all of the major puzzles in the order in which they are solvable and with all of their dependent puzzles under them. It is assumed that you have explored every place which is accessible.

Donald Nunn of Hodgenville is a new member of the American Angus Association.
The American Angus Association, with nearly 33,000 active adult and junior members, is the largest beef cattle registry Association in the world. Its computerized records include detailed information on nearly 16 million registered Angus.
The national breed registry organization is located in St. Joseph, Mo.
When the congregation of Hodgenville's First Baptist Church presented its pastor, the Rev. B.F. Hagan, with a Christmas gift in 1897, he likely had no inkling that the present would become a conversation piece 112 years later. The gift — a 68-by-78-inch hand-stitched quilt — will be presented to the church on Tonieville Road during the worship service there Sunday, Oct. 25.
One of the more interesting things about the full-size coverlet is that it contains some 660 names hand stitched into a Boston Puzzle style pattern.
Fall sewing classes
Master Clothing Volunteer Rosa Smith will be offering beginning classes for adults on sewing and pattern fitting on Tuesday afternoons Oct. 27-Dec. 15. Classes will be at the LaRue County Extension Service at 807 Old Elizabethtown Road, Hodgenville. Call 358-3401 for more information and to register. Class sizes are limited.
Poster entry deadline
Ashley Cottrell, Valerie Sherrard and Emily Farrar are participating in the 4-H Teen Leadership Academy, an eight-month program for teens from LaRue, Hardin, Meade, Grayson and Breckinridge counties. On Oct. 16-17, they participated in a retreat at Camp Loucon that emphasized leadership and communications skills as well as participation in the camp's low ropes course.
Fall farm fun is attracting school and church groups with pumpkin patches, corn mazes and hay rides. Four LaRue County locations will be up and running by the weekend plus a fifth operation just north of the county line off Kentucky 210.
Here's a rundown of the offerings:
Lee's Garden Center, 1918 Bardstown Road, Hodgenville, 358-9897, www.leesgardencenter.com. Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
4-H Rabbit Club
The 4-H Rabbit Club will meet 10 a.m.-noon Oct. 31 at the LaRue County Extension Service office, 807 Old E'town Road. All members and interested persons are welcome.
When there's something strange in the neighborhood, forget about calling Ghostbusters. Contact the Rev. Michael MacGowan, a plumber-turned-paranormal investigator, who's on a real-life mission to bust ghosts.
About three years ago, MacGowan — who relocated to the Ovesen Heights area of LaRue County from Oklahoma — believes he saw the spirit of his mother at her own graveside service. She appeared younger, with her arms folded, he said, and stood beside her grave before her body was buried.
Many of my childhood memories revolve around the tiny general store in Ovesen Heights.
It was a joy to go inside the little block building and listen to the owner, Boots Howell, and my mom swap stories.
Boots would sell you one egg, one roll of toilet paper, enough flour to finish your biscuits or a postage stamp. She was a true believer in customer service.
For 35 cents, you could get a quarter's worth of pickle dog and a Coke.
A litter of abandoned kittens found their way into Lenore Hoover's home and into the heart of her Australian shepherd, Sheba.
The dog attentively licks the rat-size kittens clean each time that Hoover, Liz Fary and her other helpers feed the brood from tiny bottles. It's an essential job that momma cats normally perform to stimulate a bowel movement for the babies.
Sheba also gives the six kittens a thorough tongue bath once a day, Hoover said.
"She always wanted to be a mother but couldn't," Mrs. Hoover says of her dog.
Buffalo Class of 1955
The Buffalo High School Class of 1955 will have its 54th reunion at 6 pm. Nov. 14 at Paula's Hot Biscuit Restaurant, 311 Water St., Hodgenville. For more information, call Lila Kirk at 358-8537, Gene Richards t 358-4759 or Mary Poteet at 358-4571.
Class of 1985
The LCHS Class of 1985 is planning its 25-year reunion. If you would like to help, call Susan Phipps Holt at 502-549-5226 or Paula McDowell-Wood at 270-735-3825.
Late fall and early winter is an optimum time to prepare spring-calving beef herds for reproductive success. Adequate nutrition from about 50 to 80 days prior to calving is critical to maximizing a cow's ability to rebreed and maintain a 365-day calving interval. If a cow gets inadequate nutrition or is thin at calving and breeding, she will take longer to come into heat and will require more services to conceive.
The Farmers Market season closed last Thursday with Pat Durham of Durham Beef grilling locally raised beef. Durham set up three times over the course of the summer at the roadside stand adjacent to the LaRue County Extension Service. Ten vendors paid the season-long $15 fee to set up fresh produce and other locally produced farm products throughout the season. Others paid $10 for each single set up. The Extension Service reinvests all the fees into the Farmers Market in the form of advertising, signage and related expenses.
Master Clothing Volunteer Rosa Smith will be offering beginning classes for adults on sewing and pattern fitting on Tuesday afternoons from Oct. 27 through Dec. 15. Classes will be held at the LaRue County Extension Service at 807 Old Elizabethtown Road, Hodgenville. Call 358-3401 for more information and to register. Class sizes are limited.

Traditionally, the 4-H program has been for youth ages 9 to 18.
Kentucky 4-H is taking steps to help the state's younger children by using the 4-H Clover Bud program to help shape them become responsible, caring, hard-working individuals.
LaRue County farmers tend usually pay less attention to combating weed problems during the fall and early winter months than during the spring planting season. However, this is an optimum time to critically evaluate successes and failures of the past growing season and make plans for the upcoming 2010 growing season.
It is a good time of year to consider what weed control strategies worked, and what options did not perform up to expectations during the growing season, and why. Pinpointing the cause of poor weed control may not be easy.
For fall calving cows, the calving season is in full swing. Check cows frequently. Identify calves and commercial males should be castrated and implanted.
Obtain yearling measurements (weight, hip height, scrotal circumference) on replacement animals—especially for registered ones. The largest measurements for weight, height and pelvic areas aren't what you are looking for. In most cases, you are more concerned with minimums, like eliminating heifers with very small pelvic areas so that you minimize their likelihood of calving difficulty.
4-H members are encouraged to submit their Record Books by Oct. 20. Record Books will be judged and the winning junior division record books will advance to the district competition.
Awards for all record book participants and winners will be presented at the annual 4-H Awards Banquet Dec. 7 at the Extension Service office.
Sunrise Manor Adult Daycare member, Morna Eastridge of Sonora discussed the art of loom weaving with visitors at the LaRue County Genealogy Library. The volunteers also demonstrated basket weaving, quilting, chair bottoming, crochet and painting as part of their heritage crafts preservation project.
From studying bat roosts to tagging turtles, a couple of Campbellsville University students have spent their summer getting a firsthand look at the life of environmental workers.
Recent CU graduate Andrea O'Bryan of New Hope and junior Amy Etherington of Versailles are taking part in CU's Environmental Studies Internship Experience this summer.

text:
Seven women and five men were selected to hear the case of Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, who was known for 20 years as Clark Rockefeller.
He has pleaded not guilty to the killing of John Sohus, 27, who disappeared with his wife, Linda, in 1985 while Gerhartsreiter - using an alias - was a guest cottage tenant at the home of Sohus' mother, where the couple lived.
The prosecution's case is circumstantial, based on a bag of bones found buried at the property and fuzzy memories of residents of San Marino, a wealthy Los Angeles suburb. They knew the defendant as Chris Chichester.
The defense says there was no motive for the defendant to kill anyone.
When Chichester suddenly vanished from San Marino, residents didn't connect him with the disappearance of the Sohuses.
For Gerhartsreiter, it was the start of an odyssey across America, using the names Christopher Crowe, Chip Smith and Clark Rockefeller, a pretender to the fabled oil fortune.
He was close to the end of a prison term for the kidnapping of his young daughter in a Boston custody dispute when the murder charge interrupted his chance to regain his freedom.
After a quarter century, Los Angeles County authorities realized the man in custody in Boston was not a Rockefeller heir but the man who had lived in San Marino decades earlier. While the unearthed bones were linked to John Sohus, no trace has been found of his wife.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Maryland Public Service Commission has approved an electricity rate hike for Pepco, but less than the utility requested.
The PSC said in a statement on Wednesday that Pepco, which serves Washington and Prince George's and Montgomery counties in Maryland, had asked to increase its electric distribution rates by $37.4 million.
The commission approved an increase of $8.75 million increase, saying it was enough to allow Pepco to improve its reliability.
The PSC says the rate hike, which takes effect on Friday, will raise a typical residential customer's monthly bill by $0.93, or less than 1 percent.

What is it that attracts shamans, mystics, and other visionaries to the experience of altered states? It is the fact that some wisdom cannot be accessed through ordinary consciousness alone, proposes Daniel Pinchbeck.
On Reality 2.0: Shamans, Psychedelics, and the Next Step in Evolution, this trailblazer of nonordinary reality shares a firsthand account of his quest for a "system upgrade" for human society. Join this 21st-century explorer and philosopher-journalist for an intriguing investigation of:
- Shamanic cultures from the Americas to the Amazon, and the urgent messages they have for Western society
- The 2012 phenomenon and the possibility of a new realization of time and space for humankind
- Crop circles—de-bunked hoax or legitimate transmissions from galactic intelligence?
- The potential of plant medicines such as iboga and ayahuasca to help address the spiritual crisis of our postmodern world
- Startling theories of Terence McKenna, José Argüelles, and other pioneers in the furthest realms of human consciousness
Is our culture poised for the next leap in human evolution? How is technology changing us? Are we in the midst of a global "quickening" that will transform our individual and collective consciousness—and are heavy psychedelics required to participate? Daniel Pinchbeck tackles these questions and more in this fascinating glimpse into a hopeful—and mind expanding—future.

- Review for Reality 2.0 Review by Victoria Thomas
Loved it! Pinchbeck does a superb job of intelligently sharing of his personal journey while educating his listener about a wide range of topics surrounding the 2012 passage. Calmly presentd controversial material. I appreciated and was surprised by his optimistic closing comment.
(Posted on 7/7/2012)
- Review for Reality 2.0 Review by Chris Mays
In this four hour audiobook, Pinchbeck narrates the development of his ideas and outlook during the period when he wrote Breaking open the head: A psychedelic journey into the heart of contemporary shamanism (2002) and 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (2006). Terence McKenna and 2012 are discussed. An interesting listen!

An unavailable officer led to the dismissal of drunk-driving charges against former Roane County Sheriff's Deputy Randy Kirby last year.
Kirby was fired by Sheriff Jack Stockton after the arrest last summer.
According to court records, Patrolman Daniel Lantz of the Harriman Police Department was on medical leave and unable to appear in court when Kirby's case was heard last September.
The order of dismissal was issued by Loudon County General Sessions Court Judge William Russell.

Working canines: Can customs dogs be trained to sniff out smuggled antiquities?
|Image Credit and litter of working canine puppies
from parents Zzisa (TSA) X Ffisher
at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center
Customs dogs have long been trained to sniff out narcotics, firearms or explosives hidden in strange places or wrapped in layers of plastic. Some have even been trained to sniff out large amounts of undeclared cash.
In Australia, labradors, selected for their steady temperament, motivation, adaptability to challenging environments, and non-threatening appearance, are purpose-bred by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection at their Customs National Breeding and Development Centre. At the age of two, these eager juvenile pups begin sniffer training with a handler.
The United States TSA's Puppy Program, started in 1999 was modeled after the Australian Customs Service National Breeding Program and selects dogs with the abilities and temperaments suited to customs authorities needs. Many of these working canines are earmarked for explosives detection canine teams, trained and certified by the TSA for the purposes of transportation-related security.
Detector dogs are routinely tasked to search air and sea cargo, aircraft, cargo containers, luggage, mail, parcels, structures, vehicles, vessels, and most importantly, people. But what if multi-response detector dogs, already being trained to sniff out multiple substances, could be trained to also detect smuggled antiquities which might be hidden in those same crates, packages, and cargo containers?
That's what the folks at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center and the Penn Museum, of the University of Pennsylvania, partnering with the nonprofit Red Arch Cultural Heritage Law & Policy Research want to know. To that end they have started a GoFundMe crowdsourcing campaign called the K-9 Artifact Finders Project to help explore ways to combat this top-priority problem.
Attorney Rick St. Hilaire, Executive Director of Red Arch has written a lengthy blog post about the initiative on his cultural property law, antiquities trafficking, and art and cultural heritage crime blog.
You can also read more about the K-9 Artifact Finders working canine project by consulting the project webpage at the Red Arch Cultural Heritage Law & Policy Research website.

Our research aims to understand the manner in which living systems respond to chemical agents. We are particularly interested in understanding how the response to chemical exposure is affected by genetic and environmental factors and how this translates into altered capabilities at the molecular level. Our research interests include:
We develop semantic technologies to make sense out of the vast amounts of existing biomedical and clinical data. We build a biomedical knowledge graph using Semantic Web technologies, including the Web Ontology Language (OWL) to build ontologies, and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to build Linked Data. Our research interests include:
We develop community standards to make it easier to navigate the knowledge landscape. We work with the following organizations:
Bio2RDF is an open source project to generate Linked Data for the Life Sciences.
The Semanticscience Integrated Ontology (SIO) provides a simple, integrated ontology of types and relations for rich description of objects, processes and their attributes. It provides foundational support for a number of Linked Data projects and SADI semantic web services.
A trusty URI is a verifiable, immutable, and permanent digital artifact identifier for Linked Data.
A guideline for the description of datasets that meets key functional requirements, uses existing vocabularies, and is expressed using the Resource Description Framework. Produced by the W3C Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences [HCLS] Interest Group.
Using linked data with machine learning for drug discovery.
We conduct an empirical link analysis of the life science Linked Data, obtained from the Bio2RDF project, in the perspectives of dataset link analysis, entity link analysis and term link analysis.
The FAIRport project focuses on the specification of minimal standards to drive the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR).
The massive growth in experimental data and scientific literature poses a substantial challenge in finding relevant evidence to support or dispute a scientific hypothesis. HyQue is a semantic web application that leverages ontologies, Linked Data, and SADI services to evaluate scientific hypotheses.
The INTREPID project merges the Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment (STRIDE) Clinical EHR database with the Bio2RDF Linked Open Data ecosystem using Semantic Web technologies. This unique system enriches Clinical EHR data with Biomedical Knowledge bases to find underlying patterns within the clinical patient data.
The VERITABLE project focuses on providing mechanistic plausibility validation mechanisms of multi-drug combinations in the context of drug safety / pharmacovigilance using available biomedical linked data resources and computational techniques.
Ebola virus (EBOV) is a lethal human pathogen responsible for causing Ebola virus disease (EVD), a severe hemorrhagic fever and has a cumulative death rate of 41% in the ongoing epidemic in West Africa. We developed an Ebola-KB dashboard to facilitates interactive access to an Ebola virus-centered Knowledge Base (Ebola-KB) developed using Semantic Web Technologies which integrates data from several open data sources, namely NCBI Gene, InterPro, Gene Ontology, PubMed, DrugBank, PDB and KEGG.
BioSearch is a semantic query engine for the life science Linked Data.

A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.
Saturday, March 28, 2009
Chicken in a Hole-- and my cooking mojo is back!
Finally! My head cold is healed, for the most part. My cooking mojo is coming back. This sure was lousy timing for me to be chosen as random blogs on two foodie blogrolls. Great! Newbies must think that the only I can cook are breakfast.
Forgive me! All I could eat were eggs, oatmeal and cream of wheat! Besides, my husband (who is culinary impaired) can make those things-- and nothing more! Honest! Come back and visit later. I promise I'll cook things a lot more challenging. Really. But, thanks for visiting...and not leaving a comment. Sniff.
Today, Spring is in full swing in Monterey, California. I don't mean to upset those of you who are freezing cold-- but it's in the mid 70's, and the cover to my Weber is coming off. Today, I am grilling a turkey! Well, let's call them "turkey parts". I bought a turkey breast and two legs. Consider this my maiden voyage to grilling turkey for my first time.
I'm also grilling asparagus and I'm going to see if I can replicate something I absolutely love-- oak grilled artichokes. Oh, how I love those! Restaurants charge about $7.00 a piece. I paid less than a $1.00 for locally grown 'chokes. I believe I have to steam them, then grill with olive oil and balsamic. I'll see if I can make a nice garlic aioli for dipping! Don't hold your breath-- today, I am in "self-taught grilling school".
I just did some Spring Cleaning in the bedroom-- fresh bedding, towels and disinfected all bathrooms. I do not want germs to reignite my illness, thank you very much. I got hungry... as, in I want to eat now. The last few days, I've been eating very little (quick diet is the only reward).
I hunted around and remembered I had some sour dough bread that needed to be eaten, or turned into croutons. Hmmmm, eggs and toast?
A childhood memory popped up-- cook eggs inside slices of bread? What's that called? I can't remember! Eggs in nests? Toads in the hole? Whatever! I lightly coated my skillet with olive oil, and used a biscuit cutter to make holes. What do I do with these? Toast 'em!
My son, who was devouring an industrial sized bowl of cereal nixed me on an offer for a plate of these-- until he saw hubby and I sitting down to enjoy.
Kids. At least I got to photograph them. At first, I didn't even want to blog about eggs....again!
Flipping his eggs weren't as well executed as ours. Don't pay attention to ugly egg whites. (Yes, I'm highly critical of my own work.)
I just love to dip my bread in egg yolk. It's so unlady-like, but I can't help myself.
I don't think I need to post a recipe for this, now do I? But, if you can remind me of what this is called I'd appreciate. I'm feeling old and forgetful.
I really just wanted an excuse to blog about something and to say that my cooking/baking mojo is back! Yes, I can cook!
Hang in there-- I've had plenty of time to view my fellow bloggers recipes. I have a long list of things I want to cook and bake. Coming into season, in the Salinas Valley are Driscoll berries. Oh yeah! I live ten minutes to their cooler, where I can buy freshly picked berries at wholesale.
I just bought more herbs to plant and I'm schmoozing "Mr. Fix-It" into building a raised garden bed for me. He's not going for it. Maybe I should ask Donna, at My Tasty Treasures for tips. Yikes!
I'll be back-- especially if the Meyer Lemon pudding cakes turn out, as I hope that they will. That's dessert-- unless I read more blogs. I could change my mind 50 times by then.
Oh, I'm feeling so much better! Oh. I think I'll skip eating eggs for a while. My cholesterol is okay, but there are so many fresh vegetables and fruits to choose from.

Eggs in a basket??? Not sure what they're called, but they look great. I love the little toast rounds with jam, so good. I had some a couple weeks ago from Cracker Barrel, but I can't remember what they called them either.
I absolutely loves eggs and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so I don't mind :-)

My grandkids call them "dipping eggs" and I could eat them for breakfast lunch or supper. You really have a nice web page!
- March 29, 2009 at 1:19 AM
DO NOT apologize for breakfasty foods! I LOVE breakfasts, and can eat them any time of the day!
and I love dipping bread in egg yolks, too! I think it beats any soup! by the way, it's called eggs in the basket! I even checked!

So glad you're feeling back on your feet! I'm in San Fran, and even the weather here has been fabulous! My mom always called this dish "Bull's Eye," but I don't think I've ever heard anyone else call it that. Whatever its name is, it looks delicious!

I love eggs - keep 'em coming! Glad to hear you are feeling better, we are working our way there as well. At least the dog is better! ha - that was a lot of fun! Can't wait to hear about the artichokes!

That's it! Eggs in a basket. Thank you for jarring my memory.
And, thank you, for leaving comments. It's fellow foodies, like all of you, who make food blogging deliciously fun!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Protecting a three-point lead in the final minutes, Citadel coach Kevin Higgins was determined not to punt the football back to Chattanooga until he absolutely had to.
Higgins twice ordered the Bulldogs to go for it on fourth down in their own territory, and twice they converted.
"A huge, huge gamble," Higgins said. "But I wanted to give our guys a chance."
When The Citadel did finally have to punt, the Mocs quickly confirmed the coach's worst fears. Chattanooga needed only six plays to cover 79 yards for the winning score, on quarterback Jacob Huesman's 13-yard touchdown run with 2:02 left in the game.
The Mocs' 28-24 victory delighted a crowd of 8,106 fans at Finley Stadium, kept Chattanooga in the thick of the Southern Conference title race, and thoroughly frustrated a Citadel team that dominated much of the game.
"We're tired of having it come down to two or three plays and end up losing," said linebacker Rah Muhammad. "We've got to figure out a way to win these games."
The Bulldogs (2-6, 2-4) built leads of 17-7 at halftime and 24-14 in the third quarter, piling up 334 rushing yards and 36:41 in time of possession against the SoCon's top defense.
Fullback Darien Robinson ran for 129 yards on 24 carries; quarterback Ben Dupree scored on a 13-yard run; backup QB Aaron Miller threw a 41-yard TD pass to Jake Stenson; and Dalton Trevino's 61-yard TD run gave the Bulldogs a 24-14 lead with 6:24 left in the third quarter.
"To do all that still lose, there's nothing you can hang your hat on," Dupree said. "We moved the ball, but we did have a turnover and a couple of missed reads on the option. We didn't execute when we really needed to."
The most crucial failure in execution came with The Citadel up by 24-21 in the fourth quarter, after the Bulldogs had converted twice on fourth down.
Miller bulled for two yards on a QB sneak on fourth-and-1 at his own 26. Then, Robinson was rocked in the backfield on fourth-and-1 at The Citadel 37, but somehow kept his feet and got outside for two yards and another first down.
But on third-and-3 at The Citadel 46, freshman tackle Harrison Davis was flagged for 5-yard penalty for a false start. On third-and-8, Miller's pass fell incomplete, forcing a punt to the Mocs' 21 with 3:42 left. It was too much time, and the Mocs made the winning drive look way too easy.
Huesman hit C.J. Board for 28 yards, then ran three straight times up the middle for 36 yards, including the game-winning TD. He finished with 95 yards on 13 carries.
"They had been running the stretch play, the stretch play to the outside, and we had guys coming up on the perimeter to stop it," Higgins said. "Huesman did a very good job cutting the ball back. Bottom line, we needed to stop him and we didn't do it."
Chattanooga (4-1 SoCon) survived a game when leading rusher Keon Williams suffered a leg injury on the opening kickoff and didn't play again. The Mocs are tied for second place in the SoCon with Wofford (5-3, 4-1), a 34-27 loser Saturday to first-place Samford (6-2, 4-0). The Mocs, 6-2 for the first time since 1997, host Wofford on Nov. 9 and go to Samford on Nov. 16.
"It was a great job by Jacob and all of our guys," said Mocs coach Russ Huesman, the quarterback's father. "I was screaming and yelling at Jacob in the first half, getting after him pretty good, and (offensive coordinator) Jeff Durden doesn't coach him like that. He kept telling me that he'd get it right and he came back to have a great second half."
At 2-6, The Citadel is virtually guaranteed its seventh losing season in nine years under Higgins. The Bulldogs have four games left, but one of them is at Clemson on Nov. 23. Five of their losses are by a TD or less.
"We're 2-6," Dupree said. "It was another close loss, but that doesn't matter. It's still a loss. We're still together, we still believe in each other. We're playing for each other now, and that's what we will keep doing."
The memory of an excellent first half, when the Bulldogs piled up a 267-83 edge in total yards and a 17-7 lead, made the loss even harder to take.
"It's hard, real hard," Higgins said. "They did what we asked them to do, they played with emotion, all those things. But in the second half, we just needed one stop, one turnover, another first down, and we didn't get it. That's the difference between winning and losing."
Sophomore receiver Brandon Eakins of Wando High School underwent emergency surgery Friday in Chattanooga for a problem with his lower abdomen. His parents took him back to Charleston. "It was a little scary, and he was in some pain," Higgins said.
With 129 rushing yards, Darien Robinson moved into fifth place on The Citadel's career list with 2,652 yards, ahead of Nehemiah Broughton, who rushed for 2,636 yards from 2001-04. Robinson needs 140 yards to catch Andrew Johnson (2,792 yards) for fourth place.
